curly with a chance of afro...

Amazing how easy the number "1" is to act out. Also amazing how, despite it's straightforwardness, I still look nothing like the digit...

boots & watch: target. jeans & jacket: kohl's. shirt & belt: vintage.

Hey friends, sorry for the drama of me over the past day or two. I kinda freaked out. But, after a good couple solid hours of HGTV last night (Pocket's out of town this week, and I tend to snuggle up to the warm glow of the television when he's gone) and even some sleep, I promise: no more freakout weirdness from me! (Relatively speaking about the weirdness, of course.)

This is seriously going to be fun. [Editor's note: Nevermind the fact that I also think working sudoku puzzles, doing mental math while jogging, and mowing the lawn are all FUN!... doesn't everybody?]

I was thinking, though, that this challenge might actually turn out to be a little too easy. Maybe an awesome twist would be to have everyone bring their 30 items to an island, and we hang out there. With lots of cameras around. We'd eat rice and live off the land. Some of us will be periodically abrasive and rude ("you totally copied my ensemble from yesterday! you WENCH!" *commence cat-fight*) to boost ratings. Then we get voted off the island. Winner gets 1 million accessories. We could call it Survivor.﻿ Seriously. I think a show like that might last 5 or 13 or 86 seasons. Who's in?

Today's jumping-off point was this red polka dot shirt. Which, there's something about polka dots that makes me want to wear my hair curly. Just like there's something about pnut m&ms that makes me want to live in a world where their consumption (in huge quantities) is encouraged and, ultimately, vital for survival. Like a super-delicious version of carbon.

Add my favorite dark skinnies, which I didn't wear all last week, because I knew they'd prob be the MVP for this coming month. I originally had a cardigan with this, but everything felt too drapey-drapey. So. Structured jacket to the rescue, big fatty random blue belt (Unexpected and Maybe Awesome for me here), and boots that originally weren't going to come out and play today but it's just too stinking cold to wear anything else.

I LOVE the red and army green combo- that color combo has been popping in my head ALL THE TIME recently. You take the cutest pics!! Thanks for the comment and for giving me your link b/c I'll def be back! :)

I would definitely be on Survivor with you. Today is Day 1 for me as well, and I scrapped the outfit I had planned in advance...THAT wasn't disheartening at all. Oh wait, yes it was. We'll make it. Promise.

hey! thanks for stopping by and for encouraging my preggo belly in a pencil skirt. :) you are totally adorable, and i'm totally adding you to my reader so i can follow your 30 for 30. your no. 1 -- outfit and pose -- are fabulous.

first of all, you are too sweet! thanks for stopping by your blog.and second of all, i think you are too precious. and i love your number one pose! i wish i didnt have a problem with buying gap jeans or else i would do the 30 in 30! alas, another season for me :) but really, thanks for stopping by, as i now have a new fashion blog to obsess over!

What a great remix! I love the red polka dotted shirt and the cute boots! Isn't remixing fun! I was going to visit every remixers blog but there are so many I will still be going after the challenge is done! I adore the layout of your blog and your numeral imitation! xo Emily

Hey, welcome!

I'm Brittney, a 30-something wife and mom of four young kids. To be perfectly honest (always), stylish clothes aren't my top priority. But I don't want to give up on style completely... So I make an effort with what I've got to look less frazzled than I actually am. Basically, I want my clothes to lie to the world. Is that so wrong?
